Pirate God Project

Going upstream along the Sentora River, Elmar and the others are heading towards the 'Green City - Almaru'.

On the Black Lupine, Weiwei also wrote a letter at this time and was about to give it to her partner Karu Duck to deliver to the King of Alabasta.

So, at Weiwei's request, Aimar and the others prepared to dock nearby so that Karu Duck could deliver the message.

Not long after, the ship docked and everyone got off the black Lupine.

Weiwei held a letter in her hand and said to Karu Duck with a serious face: "Karu, now go to the Yarobana Palace alone and give this letter to your father. Here The conspiracy about Crocodile and the Baroque Works, as well as the results of the investigation by Ikarim and me, are all written in it. It also writes about my arrival in Alabasta alive, and about me. It’s about this group of reliable partners.”

Yes, after these days of getting along, Weiwei has truly regarded Aimar and the others as partners.If not, Aimar would not have mentioned cooperation to her easily.After all, if they don't trust each other enough, it would be easy for Weiwei to misunderstand them if they mention that kind of thing rashly.If Aimar and the others were treated as the same people as Lao Sha by the princess of Alabasta, they would be in big trouble.

Weiwei paused for a moment, then asked Karu Duck again: "Karu, can you do it? You have to cross the desert alone."

In this regard, Karu Duck did not hesitate at all.I saw it raised one of its wings and called Weiwei confidently.Looking at the situation, it seems to be saying: "Don't worry, keep it on my body!"

Seeing this scene, Weiwei also smiled happily.She put the envelope into the bag on Karu Duck's chest and gave some nagging instructions to her partner. "Listen up, you should save some water in the desert and don't drink it all at once. And..."

Looking at Karu Duck who was about to embark on a journey alone, Amar and the others also smiled and cheered him up.

Amar: "Come on, Karu!"

George: "Hahahahaha, Karu, you have to work hard! When we meet next time, I will make a lot of delicious food to reward you."

......

Ready to go, the ace postman - Karu applies to fight!

Looking at her companions who were about to set off, Weiwei smiled and said, "Then, please tell Father by the way that this country can be saved."

Hearing this, Karu Duck yelled and once again made a promise to complete the task.Then, it turned around, took everyone's encouragement and encouragement, and ran wildly towards the depths of the desert.

But...it just ran wildly for a short while, and it suddenly stopped.Kalu lowered his head and took a deep sip of water from the water bottle on his chest before continuing to run wildly.

Seeing this, Weiwei hurriedly warned: "Be sure to save some water!"

After Karu left, the others returned to the ship and continued toward El Maru.

At the same time, in a dark room, Crocodile was using his golden hook to lift the heavy curtains, wanting to see the scenery outside.

Crocodile: "The Kingdom of Sand, Alabasta, built a town on this desert... Hehe, even after thousands of years of history, the desert is still filled with the smell of death. This As early as the birth of the country, it has been shrouded in the shadow of death."

At this moment, Robin walked slowly over and stood behind him. "I just received news that the ships of the billions of elders sent to Narohara were attacked, and now they have all been destroyed. Now, I am confirming the facts."

Hearing this, Crocodile's movements froze.He took a puff of the cigar, and after exhaling a puff of smoke, he asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Robin: "It's still unclear who did it. We just found traces like lightning burns on the remaining ship fragments."

Crocodile: "Thunder and lightning burning? Haha, I didn't expect there to be such a person in Alabasta. Forget it, there are as many substitutes for billions of elders as you want, so it doesn't matter if you lose some. This is just... Like a drop of water falling into the desert, it has no impact on my plan. But..."

At this point, Crocodile's expression darkened, "But, someone dares to go against me... In that case, then... crush him for me!"

Robin: "I understand. In order to make contact, I have sent the 'Bibber Runner' there."

Crocodile: "Thank you."

Robin: "But... why do we need to suddenly summon the members? This is much earlier than our original time. Is there no problem with planning in advance?"

Crocodile: "Because...I suddenly had some bad premonitions, and I always felt that something bad for us was going to happen. So, in order to avoid long nights and nightmares, we should complete our plan as soon as possible. Don’t worry, it’s okay to make plans now, everything is under my control.”

After that, he lowered the curtains, and the whole room instantly fell into darkness again.

His eyes turned back to Aimar and the others.

At this time, Aimar and others had already landed.After having some 'friendly' and 'friendly' exchanges with the kung fu manatees on the shore, they took their luggage and headed towards the 'Green City - Elmaru'.

At this time, everyone had put on the clothes purchased from Nalohara.These are some hooded robes suitable for wearing in the desert. They can cover people's skin during the day and prevent them from being sunburned by the scorching sun. At night, they can also play an excellent role in keeping out the cold, making everyone No need to suffer the ravages of the cold.It can be said that with these clothes, Aimar and their desert trip will be much easier.

In addition, everyone also has props to cover their faces.The girls all wore white veils, giving them a "half-face-covering" charm; while the men each wore a scarf to protect themselves from the wind and sand, while also keeping their appearance from being ugly. exposed to others.After all, Amar and the others are not only wanted criminals by the World Government, but also targets of the Baroque Works, so it is still necessary to cover their appearance.What's more, Princess Weiwei's identity must not be exposed now.

After packing their luggage, not long after leaving, everyone arrived at Elmaru.It's just that... the current Elmaru... can't have any connection with the title of 'Green City'.

This scene also surprised everyone.

Nami: "Weiwei, is this...the 'Green City - Elmaru'?"

Weiwei: "Yes, this is Elmaru, known as the 'Green City'."

George: "But this... is obviously a ruin, and you can't even see a trace of green. Even if the 'green' refers to the people in the city... but there are no people here... ....Ouch! Han, why did you hit me?!"

Seeing Great Knight George starting to talk nonsense, Nottingham on the side couldn't stand it anymore, so he punched him to shut him up.After all, as we all know, such an incredible and magical name as 'Green' should not be talked about casually.Otherwise... there is no guarantee that these ruins will not be so angry that they will bury Aimar and the others alive.

(Almaru: Dare you call me a green? Bury me! Bury them all!)

Weiwei ignored George and the others' nonsense. She said to everyone sadly: "After seeing this city, you will understand what the Baroque Work Society has done to this country. You will know, How on earth are the citizens of Alabasta suffering?”

Entering the city, the surrounding scene is shocking.There are ruins everywhere, withered trees, yellow sand, and no life left at all.

Amar: "It's so desolate, there's nothing."

Weiwei: "Yes. Although it is a city in ruins now, not long ago, Elmaru was a lush and vibrant city."

Amar: "This is really incredible."

Weiwei: "Although it didn't rain much here before, by storing the scarce water, the city was still able to survive. However, in the past three years, in all the land in this country... Not even a drop of rain fell.”

George: "Three whole years?"

Nottingham: "So long? This is really incredible."

Hanabi: "But even if it doesn't rain, isn't there still the river we just crossed? Can't we divert water from that big river?"

Hearing this, Weiwei was silent for a moment.She turned to look at her friends behind her, "The answer to this lies ahead."

Hanabi: "Huh?"

After saying that, Weiwei walked straight forward.Seeing this scene, although everyone had a lot of questions in their minds, they could only put it aside for the time being and continue to follow Weiwei towards the city.

As they walked, Weiwei continued to tell her friends: "Not even a drop of rain has fallen in three years. Even in Alabasta's thousands of years of history, this is an unprecedented event. However, in Alabasta Stan, but there is a land where the rainfall...is much more than before. That is the capital - Yarobana, the city where the king's palace is located."

Weiwei: "Everyone said it was the king's miracle, until one day that happened."

George: "That thing?"

Weiwei: "That's right. One day, a group of people who claimed to be transporting goods for the king appeared on the dock. They accidentally knocked over a cart of goods, and all the contents spilled out. And those things... .Exactly 'Dancing Fan'."

Nami: "Dancing fan?"

Seeing Nami's reaction, Aimar's lips raised slightly, "What's wrong, Xiaona? Do you know this kind of thing?"

Nami: "Yeah. The other name for this thing is 'rain-calling powder'. I've only heard of it before. It was something invented by researchers in a country where it didn't rain. From that powder It can emit mist-like smoke and then rely on it to fly into the sky to make artificial rain. This is the so-called 'dancing powder'."

Hinata: "But if there is such a thing, wouldn't it be a good thing for this country?"

Nami: "It was true in the beginning. It was also like this in the country that invented 'dancing powder'. The people danced happily, which is where the name 'dancing powder' came from. However, this kind of powder But it has a fatal flaw, that is, the drought in neighboring countries. To put it bluntly, 'dancing powder' is to use artificial methods to make small clouds that can slowly turn into rain clouds quickly when they are blowing in the wind. Growth, thereby catalyzing it to become a rain cloud and produce rainfall. This is the principle of 'Dancing Powder' making rain. So..."

Amar: "In short, it is robbing the natural rain from neighboring countries."

Nami: "That's right. This situation eventually led to a war between the two countries, and many lives were lost as a result. Since then, the World Government has banned the production and possession of 'Dancing Powder' worldwide."

Amar: "Oh, this is really a kind of fan that can bring happiness as well as disaster."

Seeing that everyone already knew the function and principle of 'Dancing Powder', Weiwei continued what she had just said, "When those 'Dancing Powder' were moved to the port city of Nalohara, all the people in Alabasta except the King The abnormal weather, with no rain anywhere except the city where I live... finally aroused the suspicion and anger of the people..."

Amar: "Ah, a very clever method. When the people's trust is completely lost, the king of Alabasta will also completely lose the people's support. If Crocodile steals the throne again, it will be a disaster. It’s a breeze.”

Weiwei: "That's it. My father was obviously framed. He knew nothing about this matter. But at the same time, a large number of 'dancing fans' were found in the palace. I don't know who brought them in." .”

Hearing these words, Aimar's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's not simple. Crocodile's hands are really long, and they have penetrated into the palace. It seems that his power is now very strong. It’s astonishing, it’s not an exaggeration to call it ‘deep-rooted’. This Crocodile really deserves to be one of the current Shichibukai, he can be considered a generational hero.”

While they were talking, everyone came to a strange road.

Looking at the weird road in front of him, George asked curiously, "Weiwei, what kind of road is this?"

Weiwei: "That's not a road. This was originally the location of the canal that diverted water from the Santaola River into the city. As you can see, this canal has also been destroyed. The canal has also disappeared, 'Green City' 'The water supply can no longer be guaranteed. Even though the people prayed and waited, there was never a drop of rain. In addition, since the 'Dancing Pink Incident', the people have become increasingly distrustful of the king."

Amar: "Everything played into Crocodile's hands."

Weiwei: "Yes. Later, the war broke out. The exhausted people fled the war and went to other oases in search of water. The city was abandoned. Then..."

Speaking of this, Weiwei suddenly stopped.She lowered her head and became very depressed.

"Then, the Green City...withered..."
